Or if you're in colder climes, it's the pads that needs to soften up with body temp?

It's about pads and seal.
After listening for quite some time when I take them from my head I can feel that they feel warmer and a bit softer in touch.
My dac/amp is turned on 24/7.

p.s It's not like the SQ is bad with cold pads. But with temperature seal is improved and the whole experience is also a notch up

I've mentioned that I have so much drama on the seal and fitting of the stealth here. I've come down to a system of measuring with my fingers on alignment but I still have to resort to floating the cans over my ear and find the best time alignment thats smooth and necessarily not more detail. On different chains, slowly pressing the cans in helps in SQ improvements.

How's the clamp force on the Stealth?

How's the clamp force on the Stealth?

I find them to be slightly looser than I'd prefer. They're also very sensitive to positioning, so I wish they would clamp my head a bit harder and stay in place. But, the loose clamp is obviously very comfortable and easy for longer listening sessions.

 

[alxw0w]

How's the clamp force on the Stealth?

Very light.
Maybe just a bit too light but because of that the comfort is very high.
Sometimes when I move my head quickly i have to reposition them.

My head is small so maybe for somebody with bigger head it's not an issue.

I would agree with the above statements. They are very comfortable but can move around a little. I generally listen while reclining in my chair, they stay put very well in this application.

Such a beautiful, sunny day today that reminds me the arrival of Nowruz, which is celebrated mainly by the people of Central Asia to Middle East, especially by Persians, Kurds and Turkic people, for the arrival of spring and waking up of the nature. Probably the only day in a year that I feel there is something to celebrate - and that I do by listening to folk music on Stealth. Happy Nowruz!

At first I wished that there was a bit of a stronger clamping force, mainly because the bass felt a bit thin. However, after some time now I'm not feeling that as much.

There was also a tendency to think that they are best suited to powerful amplification. If you want to listen above 90 dB, which is bad for your hearing, then to a degree that is true, but I found that quality amplification was most important for me, since I don't listen that loud. So, when I had to grab a pair of headphones to use with the L&P W2 (131) here, I grabbed the Stealths, as they had a 4.4mm terminated cable on them at the time. I was surprised to find that the result was much better than expected, even if i could easily hit maximum volume without it getting very loud. The bass still had quite a reasonable amount of impact, for example, enough that I'd consider that a usable rig for taking with me when I travel.

Before anyone asks, I know what I'm going to say in my review, I just have to shoot and edit it.

Yes, but with temperature pads are getting softer and seal improves so the bass.
At least that what is happening here where I live with current weather conditions

Seal and positioning on these headphones is very important.
